NOTE G — BORROWINGS

The aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the five years subsequent to May 31, 2026 are as follows: fiscal 2027 — $409.0 million; fiscal 2028 — $280.8 million; fiscal 2029 — $353.7 million; fiscal 2030 — $2.0 million; fiscal 2031 — $599.1 million and thereafter $901.4 million. Additionally, at May 31, 2026, we had unused lines of credit totaling $774.3 million.

Our available liquidity, including our cash and cash equivalents and amounts available under our committed credit facilities, stood at $1,089.5 million at May 31, 2026. Our debt-to-capital ratio was 43.3% at May 31, 2026, compared with 47.8% at May 31, 2025.

Revolving Credit Agreement

Our $1.35 billion unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), was amended during the third quarter of fiscal 2026. The amendment extended the expiration date to February 27, 2031 and streamlined our financial covenants. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at either the base rate or the adjusted SOFR, as defined, at our option, plus a spread determined by our debt rating. The Revolving Credit Facility includes sublimits for the issuance of swingline loans, which are comparatively short-term loans used for working capital purposes and letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Facility is available to refinance existing indebtedness, to finance working capital and capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes.

The Revolving Credit Facility requires us to comply with various customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a leverage covenant (i.e. Net Leverage Ratio), which is calculated in accordance with the terms as defined by the Revolving Credit Facility. Under the terms of the leverage covenant, we may not permit our leverage ratio for total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the four most recent fiscal quarters to exceed 3.75 to 1.00. During certain periods and per the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, this ratio may be increased to 4.25 to 1.00 upon delivery of a notice to our lender requesting an increase to our maximum leverage or in connection with certain “material acquisitions.”

As of May 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants contained in our Revolving Credit Facility, including the Net Leverage Ratio covenant. At that date, our Net Leverage Ratio was 1.70 to 1.00. Our available liquidity under our Revolving Credit Facility stood at $748.3 million at May 31, 2026.

Our access to funds under our Revolving Credit Facility is dependent on the ability of the financial institutions that are parties to the Revolving Credit Facility to meet their funding commitments. Those financial institutions may not be able to meet their funding commitments if they experience shortages of capital and liquidity or if they experience excessive volumes of borrowing requests within a short period of time. Moreover, the obligations of the financial institutions under our Revolving Credit Facility are several and not joint and, as a result, a funding default by one or more institutions does not need to be made up by the others.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

The accounts receivable securitization facility (the “AR Program”) was initially entered in on May 9, 2014 and subsequently amended on multiple dates. Pursuant to Amendment No. 10 to the Purchase Agreement effective April 30, 2025, the facility termination date was extended to April 30, 2028 and the borrowing capacity changed to a maximum availability of $300.0 million during all borrowing periods. The AR Program was entered into pursuant to (1) a receivables sales agreement (the “Sale Agreement”), among certain of our subsidiaries (the “Originators”), and RPM Funding Corporation, a special purpose entity (the “SPE”) whose voting interests are wholly owned by us, and (2) a receivables purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), among the SPE, certain purchasers from time to time party thereto (the “Purchasers”), and PNC Bank, National Association as administrative agent.

Under the Sale Agreement, the Originators may, during the term thereof, sell specified accounts receivable to the SPE, which may in turn, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, transfer an undivided interest in such accounts receivable to the Purchasers. Once transferred to the SPE, such receivables are owned in their entirety by the SPE and are not available to satisfy claims of our creditors or creditors of the originating subsidiaries until the obligations owing to the participating banks have been paid in full. We indirectly hold a 100% economic interest in the SPE and will, along with our subsidiaries, receive the economic benefit of the AR Program. The transactions contemplated by the AR Program do not constitute a form of off-balance sheet financing and will be fully reflected in our financial statements.

The maximum availability under the AR Program is $300.0 million. Availability is further subject to changes in the credit ratings of our customers, customer concentration levels or certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred and, therefore, at certain times, we may not be able to fully access the $300.0 million of funding available under the AR Program. As of May 31, 2026, there was $274.0 million outstanding under the AR Program.

The interest rate under the Purchase Agreement is based on SOFR and as set forth in Amendment No. 10 to the Purchase Agreement dated April, 30, 2025, the margin was increased from 0.85% to 0.90%. In addition, as set forth in an Amended and Restated Fee Letter, dated March 18, 2021 (the “Fee Letter”), the SPE is obligated to pay a monthly unused commitment fee to the Purchasers based on the daily amount of unused commitments under the Agreement, which ranges from 0.30% to 0.50% based on usage. The AR Program contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants and also contains customary default and termination provisions.

Our failure to comply with the covenants described in the Revolving Credit Facility section above could result in an event of default under that agreement, entitling the lenders to, among other things, declare the entire amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility to be due and payable. The instruments governing our other outstanding indebtedness generally include cross-default provisions

that provide that, under certain circumstances, an event of default that results in acceleration of our indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility will entitle the holders of such other indebtedness to declare amounts outstanding immediately due and payable.
